Sis never explained why she hates Bro so much. She's about to discover Shocker is real!

diacewrb2025-12-27 18:30

I thought she did in an earlier episode, he acted like a total weirdo in front of the other students, so she had no friends growing up.

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:37

I think he was too caught up in his Rider obsession to really clock that it was that entire obsession that ruined her life, so he still doesn't understand why she hates him so much.

PeaceAlien2025-12-27 18:51

She didn't explain it to her bro, though, when he asked. Communication is important!

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:44

How could you hate Ichiyo? I mean he:

* Beat up his little brother constantly to try to teach him a lesson.
* Refused to let his little brother be the Main Rider to try to teach him a lesson.
* Forces a young couple straight into marriage.
* Makes said young couple clean up after his own messes.
* Fails to comprehend that people aren't as obsessed with Kamen Rider as he is.
* Won't shut up about Tackle showing her panties.

PeaceAlien2025-12-27 18:52

Exactly how could you hate him, look at all of that /s

Niwaka_Samurai2025-12-27 19:45

I would definitely hate him except for that last one

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:14

>Won't shut up about Tackle showing her panties.

That is, ironically, the thing Tackle likes the most about him.

TyraniTEMPESTar2025-12-27 18:26

I love how in Ichiyo's attempt to skirt responsibility for the damages done to Futaba's pub... he breaks another window pane on his way out lmao.

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:37

He destroyed the roof! He destroyed the sliding door! He destroyed a window! He really should just be banned for life lol.

hdjfhfhsh05803hfjc2025-12-27 18:42

I assume the only reason Futaba hasn’t banned him is because deep, like very deep, down she still have a soft spot for his stupid brother

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:46

I think it's also like how she's pretty isolated/lonely so on some level even having her brothers keep visiting her is as close as she gets to companionship outside Tiger Master.

That's why she ended up enjoying the fact that, if nothing else, she could connect with her brother by fighting him.

mmcjawa_reborn2025-12-27 19:43

I think her hatred is also reserved for big bro. Maybe she thinks banning big bro would mean Mitsuba might also not stop by?

I still want a girls night out episode with Futaba, Yuriko, and Yukarisu...

guntanksinspace2025-12-28 13:52

She's still all *man, someone's gotta look out for my dumbass big bro and Mitsuba after all*.

ObvsThrowaway51202025-12-27 18:27

Mfer really tried to justify throwing lil bro under the bus and when confronted, conducted a “tactical retreat” and jumped out a window after wrecking the joint lol. V3 would never do something so shameful! This is why Futaba had to whoop Ichiyo. She basically got trained under a waifu version of Tekken’s King just to kick his ass lol.

Gonna have to wait a little before we can see Futaba’s fight. She’s pretty tough but I wonder how she’ll do against a bonafide monster?

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:45

Honestly I feel like Mitsuba and Futaba should have teamed-up to wreck Ichiyo for constantly being the worst big brother of all time.

Everyone was asking last week if Futaba could actually beat a Kaijin. I guess we're about to find out.

Trymv12025-12-27 21:16

> waifu version of Tekken’s King

Man doesnt know who Tiger Mask is. That anime is very parallel to Kamen Rider themes.

ObvsThrowaway51202025-12-28 01:56

I don’t actually. Never seen that one. Is it good?

Trymv12025-12-28 04:12

It’s old and hit or miss lol.

The new version from 2013 was also hit or miss as they were trying to pitch a spin-off with it and nobody bit.

He was also an actual wrestler with like 5 other Tiger Masks over the years.

ObvsThrowaway51202025-12-28 05:55

Sounds a little interesting. I’ll have to check it out, give it the ol 3 eps watch or skip.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:16

Oh god i didn't clock on that, she is literally the same as her brothers, but for a different show that she doesn't even know.

TyraniTEMPESTar2025-12-27 18:29

So glad this got a second cour.

Guessing after Futaba faces off against the monster, she'll officially join up in the Kamen gang.
She's already got a mask ready and everything

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:38

>Guessing after Futaba faces off against the monster, she'll officially join up in the Kamen gang.
She's already got a mask ready and everything

It seems like Spider Man is princess carrying her next episode too...

Equivalent-Quiet83602025-12-28 03:49

That wasn't Futaba. Spider Man was carrying someone else -- a woman we see on a bike.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:18

No, that's the chubby one, the hood is pink in there.

Futaba is wearing red.

abandoned_idol2025-12-27 19:39

She's a pervert alright (got off on smelling/wearing the mask of her idol), she's qualified.

...

OH!

I thought she was dead meat, **but since she put on a mask on her face (even if non-Rider)**, she'll be able to hold her ground against Shocker just fine.

God, I love the dumb lore of this world.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:19

No, it doesn't work like that.

She HAS to believe she is Tiger Master, otherwise her Haki doesn't activate!

diacewrb2025-12-27 18:32

Those facial expressions.

Tiger Master is as bad as John Kreese in teaching people how to fight.

Timelymanner2025-12-28 02:36

She comes from the Cobra Kai and Heihachi school of training kids. Beat them till they learn.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:29

Is she? Because Futaba got strong as fuck.

diacewrb2025-12-29 13:20

Johnny Lawrence was also strong as fuck.

But Ichiyo's chop is like Daniel LaRusso's crane kick.

thisisdropd2025-12-27 18:34

Ichiyou: "*I fear no Shocker, but that thing \[Futaba\] – it scares me.*"

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:41

Ichiyo: "Shocker exists!"

Futaba: "The only thing that exists is my foot in your face!"

abandoned_idol2025-12-27 19:37

Futaba's murderous disapproval of him\*

zsmg2025-12-27 18:34

I didn't know Tiger Mask was part of the Kamen Rider universe.

Also how can a bunch of showa era Kamen Rider fans not remember what happened in episode 7 of the original Kamen Rider, what a bunch of fake fans.

hdjfhfhsh05803hfjc2025-12-27 18:38

Yuriko I can understand since she only watched Stronger growing up, the others? They have not excuse, bunch of fakes

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:47

Although Yuriko mentioned she wasn't familiar with that episode so I get the sense she's at least seen **some** of the other Showa Riders shows (or at least read their wikipedia pages) even if she doesn't remember them as well as she did all the Stronger episodes with Tackle.

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:41

[How could they forget this iconic Kamen Rider moment?](https://i.redd.it/olq5e7baohcc1.gif)

BoyTitan2025-12-27 21:28

ROFL.

the_48thRonin2025-12-28 10:42

Greatest no-context Kamen Rider moment.

BoyTitan2025-12-27 21:18

Tiger Mask isn't part of Kamen Rider. I mean the anime is considered part of Kamen rider so now they are but Tiger Mask in this show is not a Kamen Rider.

Totallynoatwork2025-12-28 03:22

Man, talk about spoiler alert. Kamen Rider is on Amazon Prime. I just started ep 6. Now ep 7 won't be a surprise. Gonna see if subtitles shows billions or trillions at least

yunlien2025-12-28 18:56

> Also how can a bunch of showa era Kamen Rider fans not remember what happened in episode 7 of the original Kamen Rider, what a bunch of fake fans.

They can't remember because it doesn't happen in episode 7 (just checked)

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:36

So Team Rider has a damaged izakaya room and an unconscious Shocker Combatant...so obviously Ichiyo is just going to bail after letting his lady love give her victory speech about Tackle being #1 and let his little brother and sister-in-law take care of smoothing things over with his older sister so he doesn't have to. What a great brother, that Ichiyo.

If you're a true Kamen Rider, shouldn't you act upright and nobly? Like when Hongo Takeshi tossed a trillion yen? Though even if they're all Superheroes, they still can't say they would do the same. Even Tojima kind of struggles to say he'd act as nobly.

Welp, Futaba caught him...so Ichiyo's only choice is to jump out a window (doing more damage to the place) and run away from him. And Futaba has finally had enough with her stupid older brother. She's settling this vendetta she's been holding onto for her entire life and finishing this: by killing her brother!

Ichiyo is sturdy and has V3's finishers, but Futaba is a genuinely better fighter and she hits HARD. All the hatred she's nurtured for her brother all these years finally coming out as she beats the snot out of him. But Ichiyo won't give up...even if Futaba doesn't believe their grandparents were killed by Shocker, Ichiyo knows the truth and won't rest until he's settled the score.

Ichiyo may be immune to many things, but his little sisters' absolute hatred of him might be too much even for him. I mean, she's seriously trying to kill him! That's how bad things are between them.

How did Futaba become so strong? Because in her quest to become strong enough to get revenge on her brother and all the people who shunned her, she came under the tutelage of Tiger Master (Romi Park!) at the Tiger Cub's Den, whose grueling and brutal training turned her into a powerful female warrior!

Ichiyo won with the V3 Head Crusher, but what really settles the fight is that it seems like the siblings have found some kind of understanding in battling each other (how very Blade of them). So I guess Futaba is at least content for now until their next tussle, and Ichiyo realizes how far he still has to go since he fell unconscious too.

Tiger Master is a good mentor. She doesn't just let Futaba go around beating up all the people she hates, she just told her to outlive them until they're old enough for her to beat up! And all Futaba ultimately wanted was a friend in Tiger Master.

Dang, Tiger master was an ex-lady cop who beat up an entire crime family for getting on her bad side!? And now they've tracker her down and sending Spider Man after her!?

I'm starting to think Futaba might have less than platonic feelings about her master the way she's blushing and getting aroused at seeing Tiger Master in the shower...and then sniffing her mask...and then putting it on so she can battle Spider Man in Tiger Master's place. Guess Futaba is about to see first hand the reality of Shocker.

hammile2025-12-27 18:38

The healthiest sibling relationship here.

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:50

The whole time I'm thinking: "Thank goodness Mitsuba is normal enough that she doesn't hate him too" lol.

LeonKevlar2025-12-27 18:42

[Toujima struggling to answer Ichiyou's question](https://i.imgur.com/I4Kphys.jpeg) was hilarious! I guess this just proves that while they're crazy enough to train and dress up like Kamen Rider, they're not crazy enough to throw away a trillion yen. It looks like Toujima still needs to train more to become a real Kamen Rider. xD

[We finally get to see Futaba fight](https://i.imgur.com/uWNDayk.jpeg), and it turns out she's just as crazy as her brothers. Honestly, that ass-whooping was well-deserved considering the years of Kamen Rider torture Futaba had to endure, plus for trying to run away from her pub without paying for the damages they caused.

It's hilarious how [even for a second Ichiyou thought Futaba was a closet Kamen Rider fan.](https://i.imgur.com/6fUrD3c.jpeg) It turns out Futaba learned to fight from [another popular character from the 70s](https://i.imgur.com/DME5neR.jpeg). I think it's pretty goddamn obvious that Futaba's master is a clear reference to Tiger Mask.

[So it turns out that Ichiyou only won by a hair](https://i.imgur.com/A7e35o0.jpeg) since he immediately passed out after knocking Futaba out first.

[Ah shit.](https://i.imgur.com/kUnxrW3.jpeg) So, Tiger Master is being targeted by the yakuza, and after overhearing the conversation, [Futaba has decided to don the tiger mask](https://i.imgur.com/LYWPVfq.jpeg) and face the hitman herself. Except the [hitman is actually Man-Spider.](https://i.imgur.com/TqWBg8v.jpeg) Welp, it looks like Futaba is about to learn that Shocker is real.

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:50

Look, they might be Superheroes, but it takes more than a sense of honor and righteousness to live life like Hongo Takeshi. And people have gotta eat! And pay for the damages to a pub!

Honestly Ichiyo is like the one character most deserving and most satisfying to watch get beat up by basically everyone, including his own siblings. Even if it's still a little sad that the sibling relationship became so strained to the point of Futaba wanting to literally murder her brother. For legitimate reason, mind you.

I thought maybe Futaba was a closet V3 fan because of their grandparents, but Tiger Mask (and Romi Park) for the win.

Futaba won't let the woman she lov...I mean, the master she respects face a hitman by herself! It's time for Tiger Mask Futaba to fight her first kaijin! Hope she survives the experience.

Solracziad2025-12-27 20:02

C'mon now. Futaba ain't gay.

She just got aroused smelling her Master's sweaty clothing while watching her shower.

Wait. what...?!

Frostbitten_Moose2025-12-28 09:51

Sounds like classic roomate behaviour.

guntanksinspace2025-12-28 14:00

She was lit up giving that pink Tiger Mask the Sniffa!

BoyTitan2025-12-27 21:31

Nah Futaba Knee later knocked Ichiyou out but he is so brain dead he didn't realize how he even got knocked out. I legit can not tell if he is so smart he is stupid ,or if he is really that dumb. We never hear his internal thoughts so I can't tell if total idiot or genius trying to get people to act a certain way.

strawhat_chowder2025-12-27 18:44

Are Kamen Riders supposed to be goody two shoes? Because Ichiyo doesn't seem to care one bit about acting like a virtuous hero. Tojima at least attempts to do so, ever since he was a school boy.

Frontier2462025-12-27 18:47

And Yuriko wouldn't ditch a trillion yen because she's only got her teacher's salary to fall back on lol.

strawhat_chowder2025-12-27 18:57

Tojima is even poorer and he at least thinks to throw away the money first. Our guy is one virtuous hero

abandoned_idol2025-12-27 19:42

I think so.

But Kamen Rider has many facets.

1) He never gives up in the face of evil. This one seems to be respected by all our party members.

2) He's a good two shoes (only the main hero seems to embody this, which explains why he has a higher LARP-er level and therefore hitpoints than the rest).

kennnychen1232025-12-28 00:14

100% depends on the rider. Might be true for Showa, but past Heisei it varies a bit. Most are still goody two shoes, but then you’ve got Decade, Kabuto, and Geats which while good people are pretty arrogant and absolutely willing to manipulate people if they have to. Build is there on arrogant as well, but doesn’t manipulate. And that’s not talking about all the secondary riders who are just assholes to the main rider a lot of times for no reason. The first one is true every non-evil Kamen Rider though.

Lapiz_lasuli2025-12-27 18:51

"I wanna kill my brother"

"Yeah sure, like this."

Fucking lol. This show is all kinds of unhinged I love it.

JonnySpark2025-12-27 18:58

Frontier2462025-12-27 19:39

Ichiyo trying to not to be a destructive blowhward: Fail.

I'm getting the sense that Futaba wanted more from Tiger Master than just friendship lol.

eightcheesepizza2025-12-27 19:18

Did Futaba not have any friends growing up because of Ichiyo's weirdness? Or because she was obsessed with training to kill Ichiyo? Perhaps both.

Ichiyo screaming "I LOVE YOU" to Yuriko with one second of lovey-dovey music, and then suddenly ordering everyone to leave, cracked me up so much.

Is the next episode next Saturday, or is there a delay until most of next season's shows start? This episode felt like the start of a new arc, and a promising way to get Futaba fighting on the same side as everyone even if she doesn't join the team.

[Edit: Oh I see, nothing next week - the next episode is Jan 10.](https://x.com/AIR_News01/status/2002438549405311055) Thanks LiveChart.

HolyDragSwd25002025-12-27 20:55

New year break week. Back on Jan 10th

Equivalent-Quiet83602025-12-28 03:39

Confirmed it was because of him in an earlier flashback. None of the other girls wanted to be around her due to her family. Though you raise a good point that at some point she could've let it go and tried to make friends at clubs, the dojo, etc.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:24

>Did Futaba not have any friends growing up because of Ichiyo's weirdness? Or because she was obsessed with training to kill Ichiyo? Perhaps both.

Considering she wanted to beat every single person on her school... i think it wasn't her brother's fault, after all.

pmmeyourfannie2025-12-27 19:30

I never tried this one… now that you’ve finished it would you rec?

abandoned_idol2025-12-27 19:45

It hasn't finished airing yet. It's going for 2 cours.

Also, it's obvious starting in episode 2 that this anime is pure gold, so you shouldn't struggle too much to get into this series.

It has both comedy and "rule of cool". It keeps getting better with each episode.

DisplayHonest64652025-12-27 20:03

Is there an episode next week?

abandoned_idol2025-12-27 20:05

There will supposedly be 24 episodes in total.

I dunno if they plan to take a small break, we'll have to wait and see.

DisplayHonest64652025-12-27 20:15

Thanks

Trymv12025-12-27 21:31

Week break and resumes the 10th.

mmcjawa_reborn2025-12-27 19:40

Random Thoughts

You know, I thought we were going to get a single gag with Ichiyo trying to duck out of paying for damages (which he increased by jumping through a glass window lol). I didn't think this would give us a whole Futaba fight scene and backstory.

Turns out Futaba is just as insane as the rest of her family, training all her life so she can someday "kill" her brother who she hates with the fiery passion of a thousand suns. Which um...yeah..understandable. the dude is obnoxious as hell. At least she had one friend, her sensei, who feels like a character straight from the shows her siblings like. Oh...and by friend...I mean maybe woman who she secretly lusts after, although she is at least sane enough to realize when she is acting like a creeper.

At least next week we go back to people fighting Shocker. Kind of feels like we forgot that is who are main characters should actually be fighting...

BugZestyclose74832025-12-27 19:56

💀 they spent more episodes fighting each other than the shockers and them making tackle win still pissed me off cause that was straight up plot armor

Frontier2462025-12-27 20:12

They didn't even seem to have any plan for what to do with Nakao.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:26

>her sensei, who feels like a character straight from the shows her siblings like.

She doesn't feel like one, she [LITERALLY IS FROM ONE.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Master)

Niwaka_Samurai2025-12-27 19:44

So Futaba's hate for her brother alone made her this much stronger 😭😭

As much as she hates to admit it, she's more like her brother 'cause she's obsessed with Tora master as Ichiyo on Kamen Rider lol
Now Futaba's gonna know that her foolish brother was right all along after battling a Shocker Inhumanoid.

Thought we would be getting a new op and ed from this episode might be from the next one. I wouldn't mind the current op and ed to continue until the last episode. They're so good.

BoyTitan2025-12-27 21:40

That and a strong trainer. Without Tigermask who knows how strong she would get. And clearly strong genetics since her and her brothers and grandma were strong asf.

PencilgonGiveIt2Ya2025-12-27 19:44

FIRE

Next_Package_57102025-12-27 19:45

will she be tiger mask or kamen rider tiger?

AWSGooogle7772025-12-27 19:50

My opinion of Ichiyo had really been going up over the last few episodes! He actually had some cool, manly moments. But after this latest chapter, my likability for him is right back to where it was before lol. That said, seeing him shed tears over Futaba’s cold attitude was actually a little cute.

And now, Futaba is the one who has to face Spider-Man! I’m honestly pretty worried, though. Between his doubts regarding Ichiyo’s claim that Shocker killed their family, and his promise to the Tiger Master to live until 110... is it just me, or do these feel like massive death flags?

lazylonewolf2025-12-27 19:58

Wait, we still have another episode??
I just noticed in MyAnimeList it lists... 24 episodes. YES.

HolyDragSwd25002025-12-27 20:50

Yes

Xiadhox2025-12-27 20:32

I know it's unlikely, but I hope we keep the same ending going into the next cour. That little takoyaki has been making me smile every damned time.

The ending music is absolute banger too. Feels so unique.

melindypants2025-12-30 13:39

Maybe we will since it's ep 13 and it didn't change! It's such a good ED and great for working out/training (just like the little takoyaki lol)

HolyDragSwd25002025-12-27 20:49

Futaba the Air Master!!!!!

And she’s going to find Shocker is real and become her own Kamen Rider

Tiger Mask Futaba is here

krab_You_75062025-12-27 20:56

Actually Futaba'master was the main character of [Air Master](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Master), previous work from same author.

[https://youtu.be/k-an-GQTqZU](https://youtu.be/k-an-GQTqZU)

Basically, this episode is a crossover.

BoyTitan2025-12-27 21:34

Wait for the face reveal next week at least. All take a shot for every panty shot in that amv.

rocky_iwata2025-12-27 22:34

And Romi Park is back to presumably reprise her role from 22 years ago as well.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:21

Damm now i gotta watch a different anime.

stiveooo2025-12-28 20:37

The Anime is from 22y ago???

Wild_Card_6262025-12-31 06:14

So Maki would have to be either in her late 30's or early 40's then, since in Air Master she was a teenager. Crazy how just like Tajima despite her age she kept her strength and even continues to grow her physical abilities.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:20

Is it a crossover... or a sequel?

CrazyOrganic71232025-12-28 11:06

I'd put it in the sequel category for now. Since I don't think there's anything to really prevent it from being so at the moment.

Air Master's a great show. I re-watched a bit of it due to Tojima, because I figured, it HAS to be by the same author. And yup, it is and the show's still awesome. The art was never highly detailed, there's a loud annoying character that never really got better but you'll grow to tolerate over time, and well, other than that, it was absolute peak.

I understand it received a number of bad reviews, but I'm of the opinion that that's mostly due to the reviewers not being able to get pass how the show spent its budget. The proof is in the pudding, as they say. It's why people still remember it, still clamor for more of it and why those who know, are so excited for this appearance.

I used to fantasize about winning the lottery and commissioning a sequel season.

Give it a fair chance and remember the name, SAKIYAMA KAORI!

kunaru__2025-12-29 11:05

Isn't tiger mask the assassin female shocker from episode 8? Her outfit is the same color and her body type is also the same. Not to mention tiger master's face is hidden for obvious reason. How is it related to air master?

Sylvia_Demise2025-12-29 16:51

I thought that too initially, but think it was a red herring, we'll find out.

BillPlunderones23fg2025-12-27 21:05

imagine if Futaba was skilled in wrestling moves instead of kicks sigh...
so far only enjoyment i have gotten is Tackle when she uses such moves but barely does sigh

Infamous-Driver-91732025-12-27 21:33

Futaba is really interesting. Spiderman will probably be the best character. The worst character is of course Tackle.

rocky_iwata2025-12-27 22:38

With Tiger Master and the strongest human character Futaba being the student, pro wrestling is confirmed the strongest.

raveno192025-12-27 22:44

So in recent development, seem like V3 finally had some W and respect after some L he got recently.

Futaba will soon fighting with Spider-man, seem to me like everything is set for her to finally understand the truth and become next KR member.

DragonPup2025-12-27 22:52

This is one of the most over the top and dumb things I've watched in a while.

Best new series of the season, loved every episode.

Playest_42472025-12-27 23:02

At what point do we have enough character flash back episodes? This is starting to get ridiculous.

Drakon5902025-12-27 23:03

Futaba was giving Ichiyo and the rest of the gang shit these past episodes for being unhinged only for it to be revealed she's also unhinged (maybe not as much as them but definitely unhinged) i love this!

This anime is incredible in how it presents such a ridiculous and dumb premise like a bunch of adult manchildren running around pretending to be Kamen Rider and fully acknowledging how ridiculous this is while at the same time showing them as badass and cool while doing it

Meander0612025-12-28 01:56

>This anime is incredible in how it presents such a ridiculous and dumb premise like a bunch of adult manchildren running around pretending to be Kamen Rider and fully acknowledging how ridiculous this is while at the same time showing them as badass and cool while doing it

Perfect summary! Kamen Rider itself is a mixture of utterly ridiculous and thoroughly badass and cool!

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:30

The planet's peace hinges on a group of manchildren pretending they are superheroes.

CheesY-onioN2025-12-28 00:05

Man I love Futaba

stiveooo2025-12-28 20:41

Wait...
Ichiyou. Ichi=1
Futaba=futatsu=2
Mitsuba=mitsu=3

Lmao the parents naming them

FelixViator2025-12-28 02:10

If I had a nickel for every anime I watched in 2025 with a Tiger Mask reference, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it's happened twice.

*Zenshu also had a Tiger Mask reference.*

Frostbitten_Moose2025-12-28 09:55

So it seems referencing Tiger Mask is a mark of quality.

chum-guzzling-shark2025-12-28 03:57

This show is so good. Rarely do I laugh out loud but "retreat!" Then jumping through a glass door and "so this is fratricide" had me guffawing. Not to mention the story is well done and engaging. 10/10 show

OMNIwave722025-12-28 05:41

its her. the air master. She's back.....

Maki Aikawa.....

I thought the series was meant to be left in the ruins of my fragmented anime history....but she's here....

Equivalent-Quiet83602025-12-28 21:57

Same voice actress and everything. Also explains why Futaba fights like Maki in Air Master. They kinda look alike too.

CelioHogane2025-12-28 08:13

THIS ISN'T THE LAST EPISODE!?

Peak, the peak is real!

NoHead17152025-12-28 13:41

Ichiyo is such an arse for throwing his brother and sis-in-law under the bus like that. Glad to see Futaba giving him a good spanking. But damn, their grandma's genes must be super strong to be expressing in all three siblings.

And Toujima, of course you will throw trillions of yen into the ocean! You're *the* Kamen Rider, right? RIGHT??!!

This show has been such a blast. See you all next year.
